Losing to Tennessee would probably give then a shot at Winston. Now whether or not you are happy about his off the field issues, I'm thinking the Jets couldn't pass him up.

One problem, Rex is going win the next 3 in a row as his exit interview !

Go Jets...Cyborg

Im not real worried about it. Rex is known for being great against rookie QBs...not sure how closely you watched today's game, but did Bridgewater look too scared against Rex today? Mettenberger didnt look great today; but one thing he isn't, is scared of anyone.

One problem in that game, is the Titans may be worse across skill positions than us, which does scare me a little. Mettenberger doesnt have much to work with.




That's why we should fire him tonight and send the team in to turmoil. Meaningless wins just hurt us

We need a great starting QB, not a good back-up. Cousins is not even in the Redskin conversations anymore since he crashed & burned as a starter.

true on both accounts........BUT.......there is no Andrew Luck in this draft either.  Burning that top 5 pick on a QB could be fool's gold.

Shane Carden highlights vs NC

He's a bit small, throws the ball off his back foot too much, kind of floats it rather than drives it, and he's got a heck of a  group of receivers to throw to: Justin Hardy, Trevon Brown, Jimmy Williams, Bryce Williams, Isiah Jones....there's a lot of talent there.

Cy, RG3 is damaged goods both physically and mentally.  Right now he may be even worse than Geno, who at least has his health so I'm not so sure of even that!  Apparently he is not very popular amongst his teammates either.  So, there is an awful lot not to like there.

A lot of Jets fans asking me about Brett Hundley. Believe me, if you struggle watching Geno, you don't have the patience for Hundley.

well, if you like Carden.......then take a look at Taylor Heinicke-ODU.....has size issue (6'1") but doesn't throw off back foot.......good mechanics....  Word is Carden was chosen over Heinicke for the SEnior Bowl because they are similar - Carden about an inch taller......so Heinicke accepted invite to East/West Shrine game.  I'm very curious to see how scouts grade him.  I've heard those that have seen him so far say they either love him and football IQ or they don't at all because of size.

The YouTube video of his 730 yard game is painful to watch, with all the editing. Really hard to evaluate him because they cut away mid-play so much. Not much else on the web that I can find to break down his skills, but can't believe he'd be any worse than what we've got now, so I'd probably be fine with using a 3rd-4th on him. He's probably comparable to Carden, from what I saw.

Really is too bad we didn't spend one of our 2014 4ths or our 5th on Mettenberger, who went to Tenn with the 2nd pick of the 6th round. 2 of those 4 picks even aren't on the team (Jalen Saunders and Jeremiah George). Jared Abbredaris also went in the 6th. I know he's out for the year with an injury, but I would have so preferred him over Saunders or Evans (or Enunwa). All that kid did in college was make plays. Heck of a pass catcher. What a terrible draft for us. There was a lot of talent out there in the mid rounds--we seem to have come away with none of it.

It's about surrounding the guy with the right environment so that he can develop his potential.  Just like it was for Peyton, Andrew Luck, Philip Rivers, Eli Manning, Tony Romo, TOm Brady and many other succesful QB's.

Though some QB's just don't understand that in order to grow, their ego must be left at the door, ala Ryan Leaf, Jeff George and most recently Geno Smith.  
Marcus mariota has every intangible to be a very succesful QB.  Surround him with a coaching staff that won't coddle him yet has the balls to let him grow.  He's humble enough to relearn things he already knows.  Give him weapons the Geno unfortunatley couldn't take advantage of.  
It's more than just 1 player, but it all starts with the most important player on the field and in that locker room.
Marcus won't miss a meeting because of a "MOVIE".  He won't curse at a hometown fan.  He won't go on Jay-Z celebrity parties after a season of turmoil.

Marcus gets it and it will spread throughout the locker room.  He is a real leader.
